Ultraviolette F77 Gets Ballistic+ Upgrade, No Extra Cost For Owners
New 'Ballistic+' firmware brings sharper throttle, stronger torque, and a more thrilling ride without changing the hardware.
Ultraviolette has launched a new performance update for its flagship electric motorcycle, the F77.
Called the Gen3 Powertrain Firmware, this upgrade introduces the Ballistic+ mode, aimed at giving riders an even sharper and more exciting experience. The best part is it's free for all existing F77 owners, as per Autocar.
This update comes after the F77 was launched in Europe, where riders tend to ride at higher speeds. That put extra pressure on the bike's systems. In response, Ultraviolette engineers tweaked the thermal performance of the motor and controller. The result? A bike that resists heat build-up better and delivers a stronger initial torque before any power drop happens.
With Ballistic+, riders will notice a faster throttle response and a more engaging performance. The display will still show the top mode as 'Ballistic', but under the hood, things have definitely leveled up. However, key figures like the 40 bhp peak power and 100Nm of torque remain unchanged.
The battery size stays the same – 7.1kWh for the F77 Mach 2 and 10.3kWh for the Mach 2 Recon. The claimed range figures are also unchanged.
This firmware works across all F77 variants, thanks to the bike's smart Vehicle Control Unit (VCU), which processes over 3,000 data points in real-time. This allows the system to fine-tune the powertrain using just software — no hardware upgrade needed.
